Yep, that is what I meant.
Too bad there isn't a mechanism for accessing the properties directly. The session variables are useful, but in my case, since the information in the objects I need change in nearly every page as the user progresses through the wizard style input interface, it seems like a bit excessive.
How does garbage collection work with respect to session variables? Is there any way to destroy them immediately once they are no longer needed, or is this something that only the server can control?
